1N5820US/TR

Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N5820US/TR is a Schottky diode and rectifier component belonging to the Small-Signal Schottky product category. It is manufactured by Microchip Technology and falls under the Diodes & Rectifiers sub-category. The device utilizes SMD/SMT termination types and is housed in an SQ-MELF package outline. This specific part number represents a surface-mount variant of the standard 1N5820 series, designed for integration into printed circuit boards requiring compact form factors.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes Schottky barrier technology for rectification
• Designed for small-signal applications within the diode family
• Constructed with surface-mount termination for PCB integration

Applications

• Low voltage rectification circuits
• High frequency inverters
• Polarity protection diodes

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact datasheet specifications for the US/TR suffix configuration against official Microchip documentation before implementation. Confirm that the SQ-MELF package dimensions align with the target PCB footprint design. Ensure compliance with relevant environmental standards required for the specific end-use application.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a surface-mount Schottky rectifier is required instead of through-hole alternatives. The SQ-MELF package offers a compact solution for space-constrained designs. Compare electrical characteristics such as forward voltage and reverse leakage current against other Microchip surface-mount diodes to ensure suitability for the specific circuit requirements.

Part Context

This component is part of the broader 1N5820 series of Schottky rectifiers produced by Microchip Technology. While the standard 1N5820 is often available in axial leaded packages like DO-201AD, the US/TR designation indicates a specific surface-mount variation. It shares the fundamental Schottky barrier principle with other members of the series but differs in physical packaging and mounting methodology.
